Fixing India's broken education system

It isn't just N R Narayana Murthy who feels that the Indian education system is decaying. When he articulated his disappointment at the declining quality of engineers graduating from the Indian Institutes of Technology earlier this month, he was only saying what the rest of us are thinking.
